I made this circular drawstring jewelry pouch as a trial piece. But I made it a long long time ago (2011? 2012?) So you will be disappointed (as I am) that I no longer know where I learnt it from. At the moment, I can’t locate the instructions. All I can do is give you some detailed pictures of the drawstring jewelry pouch. That at times, might be all one needs.

I know my work here is not perfection. Yes, the sewing lines are a bit wonky. However, in my humble defense, I was only wanting to determine the feasibility and functionality of the piece.
What’s Great about a Drawstring Jewelry Pouch?
- great way to use up your beautiful scraps of fabric
- very functional. Great for keeping your jewelry safe by surrounding it with soft fabric
- great for travelling
- easy to open/close
- easy to compartmentalize your jewelry
- Tip: it does not have to be just jewelry 😀

- pieces of fabric
- some cording as pull-cord
- some large hole beads for cord stoppers (here I used colorful wooden beads)
Addendum Dec 2016:
I was reminded of this drawstring pouch by a reader writing in recently. I still have not located the original instructions I used. However I have found 2 free tutorials online which I hope will be of use to you.

Oh my gosh what a spectacular idea. These would sell like hot cakes Helena. I hope you will make more of different colors and sell them on your web page. BJ
Thank you BJ for your kind encouragement. Yes, the circular jewelry pouch is a great idea. I now have to re-discover where I learnt it from 🙂
